Description
A remix of R3D's excellent Cotton Swab Dispenser with Lid, with integrated hooks so it mounts directly onto the "Lidl pegboard" (the Parkside/Lidl workshop pegboard) — no extra hardware needed.
Everything that makes the original great is kept intact: the clean enclosed body, the lift-off lid, and the internal geometry that feeds swabs down into the bottom tray. The only change is on the back of the body, where I added hooks that clip straight onto the pegboard so the dispenser hangs on the wall instead of taking up bench space.
What's in this remix
Only the dispenser body is remixed — the hooks are printed as part of it.
The lid is unchanged from R3D's original, so just print the lid from the original model.
Hooks are sized for the Lidl pegboard hole pattern.
Printing
PLA, 0.2 mm layer height, ~15% infill, 3 perimeters (same as the original).
I recommend printing the body with supports. The added hooks create overhangs on the back, so supports give a cleaner result there. (The original body prints support-free; this is the one departure from R3D's recommendation.)
The lid still prints without supports.
Credit
Full credit for the original design goes to R3D — please check out and like the original model. This remix only adds the pegboard mounting.
